    Rifle Scopes 20 MOA base on XTR II?

    I was just out a couple of days ago to sight in my new 6.5CM RPR with the XTRII 4-20 that I picked up on the Optics Planet black Friday sale. This is my second XTRII, I put a 5-25 on an AR I built for long range shooting a couple of years ago and have been very happy with it. I also got a set...

    Suppressors Suppressor covers

    I was looking a month or so ago and saw Black Hills Gear mentioned in a YouTube review of a few different covers. I had never heard of them before but being from SD I figured I would support a local company and give them a shot. So far I really like this cover, I went with the Nomex version...

    Interest in AR600 Targets?

    Re: Interest in AR600 Targets? I would think 550 would maaybe work pretty well for targets, 600 might be getting a little too brittle. I work for a company that is a Hardox dealer and work with AR400 through 600+ plate just about every day. We have to be very careful with the 600 brinell...

    Um, has anyone else ever seen this happen?

    Re: Um, has anyone else ever seen this happen? the 500 in AR500 stands for 500 Brinell hardness, which is quite hard and fairly brittle. So, I suppose it might be possible that it just busted a chunk out of it, especially if its in a spot that's been shot before.

    Range Report Density & Pressure Altitude Charts

    Re: Density & Pressure Altitude Charts Ok, so what the national weather service is reporting isn't station pressure, its altimeter setting pressure? I just assumed that what they had on their website was what they were measuring at their weather station at the airport. So, the barometric...

    Range Report Density & Pressure Altitude Charts

    Re: Density & Pressure Altitude Charts Am I doing something wrong? Right now, it's 75*F, 29.92 "Hg, 18% humidity and a dewpoint of 29*F, and a station altitude of 3160'. Using the files from the OP, and 29.92"Hg as the station pressure, I get a pressure altitude of right around 0. Using the...

    Re: Make your own databook Part 2: Rite in Rain I just did the same thing a week or so ago with the same binder. 12 bucks shipped for 2 of them is a smokin deal. I printed out pages from both the shootingvoodoo site and oregon shooters if I remember correctly, and kind of mixed and matched...

    Gunsmithing Kwestyun for the composite resin wizards

    Re: Kwestyun for the composite resin wizards Might be worth a call or visit to the CAPE (Composites and Polymer Engineering) Lab in Rapid up on St. Pat behind the school. I've done seats and clutch covers up there for a project but nothing that sees very high temps. Not sure if they would...

    Will 1/4" AR plate hold up as targets?

    Re: Will 1/4" AR plate hold up as targets? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jackalope33B</div><div class="ubbcode-body">.223 is too fast of a bullet for 1/4" steel especially at 100 yards. You "might" have an issue with the .308 at 100 yards. My...

    Will 1/4" AR plate hold up as targets?

    I've got a chance to get some AR plate drops locally for a pretty good price. Will 1/4" hold up as pistol (.40, .45, .38 spl) targets at pistol ranges and for .223 and .308 for longer range? I'm thinking 400-1000 yds for the .308, or will it need to be doubled up? I'm not sure what grade of...

    Gunsmithing otis technology life liner

    Re: otis technology life liner Pretty much anything that regular people can buy that has nano in the name is going to be a rip off. Nanotube, nanofiber, nanoceramic, nanoparticle...not stuff that is readily available to regular joe's, at least not for a price anyone would want to pay.

    Re: case lube !! whats your fav ? I use the Lee lube and mix it with the highest % rubbing alcohol I can find at the store. I think I ended up using 93%. Mix about 1 part lube to 8 or so parts alcohol. I put it in one of the spray bottles you can get at wal mart for a buck. I've been...

    Rifle Scopes Why you HAVE to bed mounting bases on Rem 700's!

    Re: Why you HAVE to bed mounting bases on Rem 700's! Apparently I got lucky with mine. I put an EGW 20 MOA base on a Rem 700 SPS Tactical and tightened the front screws and checked the back, and tightened the back screws and checked the front. Both times I tried to slide a piece of paper...
